MESH - You Didn't Want Me
Songs: 4  Time: 19:31
Taken from their latest full length (In This Place Forever,) the You Didn’t Want Me single contains 2 mixes of the title track, and one mix each of Fragile and In the Light of Day.  The Radio Mix of You Didn’t Want Me contains several catchy electronic hooks along with the sublime, synth-pop styled vocals.  Even though Mesh could be considered a synth-pop act, their use of electronics is slightly harder than most acts and their percussion is more varied.  This is especially noticeable on In the Light of Day, a track where the layers of sequences are piled high, the beats are constantly changing, and there’s even a bit of acoustic guitar work added into the mix.  The US Mix of Fragile is the highlight of this CD-5.  Much more akin to harsh electro, Fragile sports a slight breakbeat, heavy handed vocals, and well mixed guitars over top of the more lush / atmospheric sequences.  Hints of techno ebb and hints of aggro electro flow from this piece.  The album version of You Didn’t Want Me is a stripped down version which relies on the vocals to carry it through.  As a whole, this single really shows all sides of Mesh’s musical abilities and really displays their creative talent.
